This cleaner is equipped with an automatic shut-off that
operates when picking up liquids.
As the level of the liquid
rises, an internalfloat rises until
it seats itself against a seal
at the intake of the motor, shutting
off suction. When this
happens, the motor
will develop a higher than normal pitch
noise. To continueuse, emptythe liquid waste from the tank
as outlined inthe previousparagraph.
NOTE
IF ACCIDENTLY TIPPED OVER, THE VACUUM COULD
LOSE ITS SUCTION. IF THIS OCCURS, PLACE VAC IN
UPRIGHT POSITION AND TURN SWITCH OFF. THIS WILL ALLOW THE FLOAT TO RETURN TO
ITS NORMAL POSITION, AND YOU WILL BE ABLE TO CONTINUE OPERATION.
